3. What is RPM?
RPM stands for revolution per minute. It is total revolution done by tool in span of one
minute.

4. How to calculate RPM?

RPM = (Cutting speed X 1000) / (3.146 X Diameter)

5. What is feed rate?

For milling feed rate is distance travelled by tool in one minute. Its unit is mm/min. For

higher metal removal rates and results in more parts being machined.
9. What are different types of drills and when they are used?

material. U drills are used for plunge milling, it helps in roughing out the cavities and
generate plunge area for the cutting tools.

distance a tool hangs out of the holder, the less shank there is to grip, and depending on the
shank length, this could lead to harmonics in the tool that can cause fracture.

32. What is guage length?

Gauge length is the total of holder length and tool overhang.

33. which tools are used for machining hard materials? Explain.
Coated tools are used for machining for hard tools. Coating improves surface hardness of
tool which protects it from wear.

34. How does increase in RPM and feed impacts machining?

These things aren't governed only by the speed (the RPM), but also the feed (how fast the
cutter is moving).
Imagine a tool spinning at 2000RPM, but the cutter isn't moving (the feedrate is zero). It
won't cut a thing!
So, imagine we've got a feed rate of, say, 1500 mm/min. So for every minute, the cutting
tool will move 1500mm. That's an insanely fast feed rate, and will create a very rough finish.
So let's slow that feed down to a nice 500 mm/min. For every minute, the cutter will move
500 millimeter. A very fine cut, and you'll get a nice clean finish.
Feeds and speeds will vary considerably depending on your tools, the material you're
cutting, and how good your machine is. Other factors like the balance of the part and how
well you're holding on to it make a difference as well (off-centre mass will vibrate)
Generally though, high RPM and low feed gives a nice high quality finish and vice-versa.
As ever in manufacturing, everything is a trade-off. High finishes take longer, which costs
money, so you only get as good a finish as you need.

35. What is Disk Mill? In which cases it is used?

A disk mill cutter is a big diameter dick type cutter with relatively smaller shank. It can be
used to machine undercuts in components which cannot be machined with straight tools.

strength and in the negative (-) direction increases cutting resistance

The land is the narrow surface behind the cutting edge on each tooth. Provides strength to cutting
